Feedback wanted: Grafana dashboard with InfluxDB and Raspberry Pi

Project Overview

Ve.Direct.InfluxDB.Collector is a dedicated data collector that bridges the gap between Victron SmartSolar MPPT devices and InfluxDB. The primary aim of this project is to collect, process, and store data from Victron SmartSolar MPPT devices using the Ve.Direct protocol into an InfluxDB database. The resulting dataset can then be visualized using a Grafana dashboard, providing users with a detailed, real-time overview of their solar energy system's performance.

Features

  1. Data Collection: The collector efficiently gathers data from Victron SmartSolar MPPT devices using the Ve.Direct protocol.
  2. Data Processing: The collected data is processed and formatted to be suitable for storage in a time-series database like InfluxDB.
  3. Data Storage: The processed data is stored in InfluxDB, which supports effective querying and data manipulation.
  4. Data Visualization: The stored data can be visualized using Grafana, allowing users to view and analyze their system's performance in real-time.
  5. Compatibility: The collector is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi with .NET or MONO, or any PC that operates 24/7 and has a serial port. A Ve.Direct cable is also required for connection.

Requirements

To run the Ve.Direct.InfluxDB.Collector, you will need:

  • Grafana and InfluxDB docker images
  • A Victron SmartSolar charge controller
  • A Raspberry Pi or a 24/7 running PC with .NET or MONO and a serial port
  • A Ve.Direct cable for connecting the Victron device to the Raspberry Pi or PC

Future Plans

I am always working on improving Ve.Direct.InfluxDB.Collector and adding more features, so I welcome contributions and suggestions from the community to improve the functionality of this tool and make it even more useful for all users.

No data on Venus OS on Raspberry Pi 4

Hi,

Hardware: Raspberry Pi, battery, and SmartSolar charge controller.I have a Raspberry Pi 4B and a Raspi CM4 with an I/O board.

Installation:For testing purposes, I have only connected a battery to a SmartSolar charge controller MPPT 100/30, which is in turn connected to the Raspberry Pi via VE.direct to USB.

Goal:My goal is to obtain metrics from the solar charge controller using a Python script and periodically send them to a Grafana server.

Questions:

  1. Is there any project that provides a step-by-step guide for achieving my goal?
  2. I have tried testing Venus OS by installing its image from https://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/candidate/images/raspberrypi4/. However, when I access venus.local on my PC, it shows the connection graphically but does not display any data from the battery. How can I troubleshoot this issue?

Need help with Grafana on pi 4 -

Hi

I'm trying to setup Grafana on Raspberry Pi 4 but keep having different issues. Based on the GitHub link, when composing the file I get the following output;

Basically the issue is the compose is seeing it as non-windows PC I believe?

Docker Venus/Grafana on Raspberry Pi 4 installed, but not reading serial from /dev/ttyUSB0

Good morning,

I've cruised this and other forums for resources but can't seem to get un-stuck. When Venus OS is loaded to the Pi it works fine, but I'm hoping to use the Pi for more than just that purpose, so I'm trying to use the docker container with Grafana.

The containers install fine, but no measurements are picked up:

When I run cat /dev/ttyUSB0 I get this result, so it looks like the MPPT 75|15 is outputting as it should:

[image]

I've tried a few options but none seem to achieve the desired effect:

The log isn't reporting any errors, but when debug us turned on, it looks like its rapidly connecting and closing connections through the USB cable.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Venus OS & InfluxDB Grafana on one divice

Hi everybody,

I am currently setting up my RV with some Victron equipment (BMV, smart MPPT, etc) as a central element I use a pi with Venus OS.

My question is, is it possible to have Grafana/InfluxDB on the same device? I do not what to run a second pi just for that as energy consumption is always critical.

I am not a Linux guru and struggling installing the docker-composer on my Venus OS pi.


Thank you for any help and/or tips.


Cheers

Dirk
